The Essential Role of DFx In The Lean Smart New Product Introduction (NPI) Flow Presenter: Michael Ford Title: Marketing Development Manager Date: 16 th March 2017
Today s Agenda What is Industry 4.0 and a Smart Factory What is Lean, really? The traditional production eco-system A Summary Of NPI Issues The Valor Lean NPI Flow
What Is Industry 4.0, Really? Industry 4.0 Origin: Created by the German government Tip the balance toward German manufacturing Aimed at small / medium sized companies A business case for local manufacturing Need to do it right first time (Lean) Re-shoring Manufacturing: A growing political agenda in the USA Potential taxes and tariffs on foreign goods
Transition From Industry 3.0 To 4.0 Until Now: Industry 3.0 : Automation, since 1969 Includes all SMT machines & robots From Now: Smart Industry 4.0 : Digital IoT backbone Automation of automated processes Computerization of human decision-making Optimization based on the live environment Digital engineering Not a Lights-Out factory (sorry!) THIRD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Manufacturing automation via electronic and IT systems First programmable logic controller (PLC) 1969 2000 today FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Cyber-Physical Systems
What Is Lean, Really? Do it right the first time Do it with the minimum of time and energy Do it perfectly, consistently, without mistakes Don t do anything you don t need to Eliminate all forms of waste Contribute to being Lean, up-stream and down-stream Be aware of change, flexibility

NPI Issues: Engineering For Volume Manufacturing Issues that get passed design tool DRC.. Manufacturing violations Yield, cost & reliability opportunities 9 Example: Close spacing over an extended length affects yield and therefore costs 5 7 6 3 3 1 3.00-3.49 3.50-3.99 4.00-4.49 4.50-4.99 5.00-5.49 5.50-5.99 6.00-6.49
NPI Issues: Fabrication Analysis Common fabrication issues that can cause scrap or extra costs Slivers can cause repeat defects due to photo-resist flaking Starved thermals prevent proper heat containment, affecting quality of via solder connection Manufacturing process tolerances can cause a same net short, potentially affecting circuit behavior Circuits close to a pad must be fully covered by mask to avoid solder bridging during the assembly process
NPI Issues: Flex and Rigid-flex Analysis Flex and rigid-flex circuits have their own manufacturing requirements Unique checks are required to identify potential issues Exposed Copper Coverlay Plated Hole Silver Mask Stiffener Conductors should be perpendicular across the entire bend area Plated holes too close to a stiffener can lead to cracks in the barrel Rigid area copper close to interface area can cause copper to crack Silver mask must remain clear of exposed copper to avoid EMI issues
NPI Issues: Panel Design and Optimization How to create panels optimized for both assembly and fabrication Consider panel size, rail widths, margins, moat width, number of boards and component overhang Actions needed include pattern filling, addition of tooling holes, fiducials, bad board marks, targets, text, barcode, breaktabs, v-score lines and rout Calculate exact material utilization to identify cost impact
NPI Issues: Substrate Analysis void Bottom via pad diameter Dependent on location within drill span Mesh hole to void mesh holes too close to a void can become unified in the fabrication process, affecting copper balancing Edge to PTH Pad PTH, vias, lines and planes can each have different proximity to the edge of the package or board without affecting EMI X via Solder Mask to touching via vias should be kept away from solder mask clearances to avoid coverage/exposure effects
NPI Issues: Assembly Panel Analysis Need to identify manufacturing issues with the assembly panel configuration Need to look at fabrication and assembly related processes Components too close to conveyed edge can be damaged during assembly Placement of components on adjacent PCBs cannot be done with this assembly panel design Components protruding from edge of PCB can obscure panel fiducials Breakaway tabs too close to SMD pad can result in damage to solder joint
NPI Issues: Layout Related Assembly Analysis Footprint issues are a frequent cause of manufacturing failure Simple DRC rules do not reflect true process capabilities and limitations Pin overhanging soldermask can cause solder bridging Silkscreen too close to pads could jeopardize solder adhesion Pins too wide for pads can lead to insufficient side fillets of solder joints Gangmask is required for finepitch devices
NPI Issues: Material Related Assembly Analysis Actual material used will usually not match the simplistic rules in the design tool Material dependent spacing issues will occur Component clearance requirements vary by type, orientation and placement machine Toeprint too close to conveyed edge can be damaged by SMT gripper Tall components too close to adjacent components make it difficult to access the short component for repair Misplaced reference designator causes confusion at test, repair and for manually placed components BOM Issues - frequent component reference and quantity mismatches
NPI Issues: Solderability Solderability can only be assessed using only the EDA libraries EDA libraries do not contain the pin contact area Heel & Toe Solder Joints Left & Right Solder Joints Heel Pin Contact Area Toe
NPI Issues: Solderability Sufficient solder joints for selected and qualified parts? Insufficient heel distance will lead to a weak solder joint Insufficient toe distance and even the ratio of heel/toe affect the quality of a solder joint Side solder fillets are also a factor in the quality of a solder joint Actual component body (red) covers mounting hole that CAD package (purple) didn t detect
